gossips and rumors

gossip is everywhere you turn. there is no way to get away from it. people gossip sometimes and dont even know it because they are just telling a story they heard from someone else who either made up the story or heard a messed up version of it. you kno it is really bad when something happends to you and your friends hear about it before u get a chance to tell them.. like cmon people cut others some slack .. and i kno we all gossip .. but at least wait till you hear the story from a second person .. i always try to :p' rumors are the worst.. nothing is worst than hearing a story about yourself or someone that isnt true and u cant prove it .. why spread a story that is not true. what do u get out of it. NOTHING!! when u might think it is a rumor run it by the main character of the story and save ur self the energy of telling someone a story that isnt true :P

Gossip is all over the world where ever you go and what people need to always try and keep in mind when taking part in gossip is how they would feel themselves if this was them that was being talked about in this way . Do you even know the person you are gossiping about and do you trust the person you are telling the story to or do they know the person they are talking to you about . My life has been miserable the last six months or so because of gossip that is not true . People who don't even know me are so willing to believe something just because someone told them it was true . It has got so bad that I want to move away from where I am living . I want to leave the house my husband and I just bought last year and still have to pay on for the next 24 years . My life has been turned upside down because of stories that others thought would be funny to start . It is so bad that I will never be able to work in my area again and the worst is that it was all started by family ( my own daughter ) . What people don't stop to consider is that not only do these stories affect me but they affect relationships with my children . Other children don't want to play with my children because of stories that are not true and family was quick to jump on the band wagon and keep the gossip going around because they didn't care for me for whatever reason . I am not going to sit here and pretend that I am all innocent and have never gossiped about anyone before because I have , just as we all have at some time or other . And there are times I have participated in gossip that could have hurt someone because I was upset at the time , or heard something that sounded so true and then found out it wasn't . But one should at least have the decency to admit when they are wrong , say they are sorry , and explain their reasons when they are caught in this ugly trait we all share . I do try to stay away from gossip and when talking to someone will usually say that I heard something but that doesn't mean it is true . I never truely realized how much gossip could hurt someone until it happened to me in a way that has changed my life and the lives of my family forever . I am not sure I will ever fully recover from what I have lost but have realized that it is times like this that one truely finds out who there family and friends are and what page they are on with you .
